Examining the Cultivation Policies for Normal University Students in Australia

This chapter concentrates on exploring the cultivation policies for normal university students in Australia. The national standards of Australian normal university students set the standards of normal graduates, which is the reference to the reform of normal education and the establishment of quality education teachers in the new century. In the popularization stage of higher education, the contradiction between “quantity” and “quality” has been highlighted. The government, society, and colleges pay more and more attention to the certification and evaluation of teacher education quality and put forward the requirement of developing high-quality teachers. The Australian model of gradual reform and development has exerted a subtle influence on the modernization of Australia and even the world. At the same time, Australia, as a rising star in the establishment of teacher professional certification framework, has formed a relatively perfect structure after several operations. To deeply understand the status of teacher certification in Australia, this chapter takes the institutions, standards, and procedures of teacher certification in Australia as clues, uses literature method, historical method, and comparative method to trace and interpret the process of its germination, birth and improvement, and analyzes its historical experience and shortcomings.
